March Madness Fantasy 2016 - The Draft

Wow, the world has just finished watching the first play-in game for the 2016 Men's Basketball Championship or whatever March Madness is officially called. Florida Gulf Coast dominated Farleigh-Dickinson, a school I refuse to take the time to look up the proper spelling of.

Last night was our fantasy draft. Let's take a look at the teams, and see how Florida Gulf Coast factors into our league.

BY TEAM

#1 overall seed Kansas had the most players selected, with 6. Well, 7 if you include Tyler Self, who was picked by Stu after I promised him a 15x multiplier for Self’s output. In case this incites a riot among owners, Stu selected KU’s Svi Mykhailiuk as Self’s replacement. North Carolina had 5 picks, and Oregon, Oklahoma, and Villanova each had 4 players drafted.

DOUBLING UP

James’s team was autodrafted, and as a result (and possibly by his design) he has 2 North Carolina players and 2 Duke players. Chris chose 2 Michigan State players, and Bob chose 2 Oregon players.

BY SEED

18 1-seed players, 14 2-seed players, 10 4-seed players, and 8 3-seed players were chosen. No 15-seed players were drafted. A 16-seed player was drafted only because of a “fun punishment” I implemented as a result of Brian missing the draft - Marc-Eddy Norelia of Florida Gulf Coast. That 6'7" Haitian just finished schooling the other 16-seed in the play-in game tonight, putting up 20/10/5. (And Brian gets the 1.5x multiplier bonus for that stat line.)

BY SEED 1-7

58/80 players were from teams seeded 1-7. Bob has 4 1-seed players. All of James’ players are from 1, 2, and 4-seeds. Dan has 6 players from seeds 1-3 (2 of each).

BY SEED 8-16 (1.5x BONUS MULTIPLIER TEAMS)

22/80 players were from teams seeded 8-16. 7 11-seed players were drafted, followed by 5 9-seed players. Chris and Gavin have 3 bonus players. Brian has 1. James has none. Everyone else has 2.

WHITE POWER

Known racist Luke drafted 5 white players.

WE’RE NOT NUMBER ONE

Luke is the only owner with no players from a 1-seed, which probably correlates well to those teams having few white players.

BY REGION

25 from the East (Chuck has 4)

21 from the South (Gav has 4)

20 from the Midwest (Bob, Chris, Dan, and Shawn each have 3)

14 from the West (Bob has 3)

Only Bob (the South) and Brian (the West) lack a player from each region.
